Chapter 398 Pondering
The sunlight is faint, through the dense leaves in the forest, and the mottled light and shadow are sprinkled on the mountain trail.
Ning Zhuo carried a wine jar in his hand, walked calmly, brushing the branches.
The birds in the forest chirp, clear and pleasant. The air is fresh, mixed with the fragrance of earth and plants.
"Here we are again." Ning Zhuo walked to the deep pool, which was the place where he and Lin Shanshan met for the first time.
The water in the pool was clear, and the fish swam in it, suddenly jumping out of the water, causing ripples and shattering the golden sun on the water.
Ning Zhuo continued to move forward, going around to the mountain path behind the waterfall.
The waterfall on his left side roared, splashing everywhere, the sun shone, and the rainbow was in the sky. On the right, the moss on the mountain wall is quiet and deep.
One movement and one stillness, it seems to have the beauty of yin and yang coordination.
Walking through the mountain road, Ning Zhuo stopped in front of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
He did not enter directly, but activated his mana, mobilized the talisman paper, and wrote a flying letter in an instant.
Feixin flew leisurely and slowly flew into the cave.
Soon, Linghu Jiu held the flying letter in his hand, smiled, walked out of the cave, and greeted him in person.
At this point, the two finally met for the first time at this moment.
Linghu wine is tall and thin, dressed in a blue robe, with wide sleeves hanging down, fluttering like the wind, chic and dashing.
Ning Zhuo has a wide-sleeved white robe, his eyebrows are as clear as water, and his face is like a spring breeze blowing on his face, like the morning sun, polite and courteous, which makes people feel good.
When Ning Zhuo saw Linghu Jiu, he secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, he is a good person!"
He thought about the information, and then thought of Linghu Jiu sending gold and Huo Xing enlightening the Dharma map, and felt more and more that Linghu wine was not simple.
"Today, we must recognize this person better."
Linghu Jiu has a high reputation and an unbreakable position in the Wanyao Sect, and must be the core of the power of the Wanyao Sect, and even the next Wanyao Sect master.
Linghu Jiu secretly exclaimed: "Good boy! Elegant and handsome, the best young master in the world."
"Although it is valued by the elders of the family, the clothes are simple."
Before meeting, Ning Zhuo had a lot of speculation about Linghu wine. At first glance, I felt that Linghu Jiu's demeanor was outstanding, which was in line with his conjecture.
Linghu Jiu also had many conjectures about Ning Zhuo, and at first sight when they met, he felt that Ning Zhuo's appearance was even more than he imagined. The clothes were simple and clean, which made him feel good.
Both of them were looking forward to meeting each other, and when they met for the first time, they both had a good impression.
Linghu Jiu smiled: "Young Master Ningzhuo, there is already a flying letter notice from the sect before coming. Recently, the young master has won consecutive victories in the small competition, and he is in the limelight. I have lived in a deep cave for a long time and have heard of it. Please come in!"
Ning Zhuo first put down the wine jar in his hand, held it in mid-air with his mana, clasped his hands in salute, and said seriously: "I have heard the name of Brother Linghu for a long time, and I am fortunate to see you today. I took the liberty of visiting today and brought a jar of thin wine, and I still hope to give it up."
Linghu Jiu twitched his nose, stared at the floating wine jar, laughed, and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Brother Ning, I am ashamed to accept it. Please, come in, and let me show my friendship as a host."
The two entered the cave.
The furnishings in the cave are simple, just stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds.
Linghu Jiu asked Ning Zhuo to sit down: "The cave is simple, and it really neglects the distinguished guests."
Ning Zhuo said: "The scenery in the mountains is unique, simple and quiet. And being able to drink with Brother Linghu today will be a happy event in life."
Linghu Jiu took out the stone bowl and looked at the wine jar expectantly.
The wings of his nose fluttered again: "To be honest with Young Master Ning Zhuo, he has a wine nose under him and is good at smelling the aroma of wine. This alcohol alone is extraordinary, and it has already touched my heart!"
Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned.
In the intelligence, Linghu Jiu's love for alcohol is heavily described.
But after meeting, Ning Zhuo realized that Linghu Jiu's habit of drinking was only heavier than described in the information.
Ning Zhuo poured wine while introducing the origin of the wine.
This is exactly the ice jade wine.
Produced from the ice heart jade pot, it is a product of the Ning family's inheritance. Practitioners of the Ice Heart Technique drink this wine, and they complement each other.
Ning Zhuo first filled the stone bowl of Linghu wine, and then poured it into his own glass cup.
Ning Zhuo raised the glass cup with both hands: "I want to thank Brother Linghu for visiting today. Before, the misunderstanding of Laud and others was all due to Brother Linghu to solve the problem for me."
Linghu Jiu laughed and picked up the stone bowl: "Oh, I can't hold it anymore, I'll drink it first!"
Ning Zhuo: ?!
For a while, the sixteen-year-old boy stayed in place, and saw Linghu Jiu raise his neck and swallow a bowl full of ice jade wine into his belly.
Linghu wine drank fine wine, and felt an ultimate coolness, like drinking ice spring water in the cold winter twelfth lunar month.
The coolness ran through his body, eliminating all his fatigue and anxiety.
The wine is like ice and snow melting, without the slightest spiciness, and the sweet aftertaste is like three days of winding, the more you taste it, the more beautiful it feels!
At the same time, Linghu Jiu's upper dantian flowed magnificently, like a waterfall, heading down, pouring all the way down the spine into the sea of qi in the middle dantian.
In the sea of qi, the sea of clouds surged, and the waves were endless.
Linghu Jiu's qi sea cultivation rose steadily.
"Good wine, good wine. Young master, please fill it up quickly!" Linghu Jiu became excited and was unceremonious.
Ning Zhuo's face smiled even more: "Brother Linghu can like this wine, it is really an honor for me, little brother."
But in his heart, he was muttering: "What kind of temperament is this person? Is it a disguise at this time?"
According to the information collected, Linghu Jiu is lazy and casual, and he is very popular with his brothers. But before, when Lauder and others spread rumors, Linghu Jiu took care of the overall situation and took the initiative to compensate Jin Xing and Huo Xing's enlightenment map to Ning Zhuo. Obviously, there is a city.
This made Ning Zhuo can't help but guess what the true face of Linghu wine is.
In the past, Ning Zhuo needed to observe and contact for a long time to gradually understand the details of a person's temperament.
But now, he has magical powers in his hands, a magic weapon by his side, and a convenient means.
Watching Linghu wine drink the second bowl again, the brilliance in Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed and disappeared.
Magical powers - human life hangs by ......
"Huh?!"
At this moment, Ning Zhuo almost lost his color.
It was all because of a strong intuition that told him: If you activate your magical power at this moment, even if you can plant it successfully, it will be discovered by Linghu Jiu!
This is the first time Ning Zhuo has encountered this situation.
His heart was shocked.
"I have foundation building cultivation, and even Jindan level monks are not exempt and cannot be aware. Ning Jiufan, the second ancestor of the Zhou family, and the fox god of Wuyin Mountain. Even if it is as strong as Zhu Xuanji, I have been blessed with the magical power of human life."
For the existence of the Jindan level, although Ning Zhuo added human life suspension, at most it added some induction for himself, and it was impossible to forcibly control it.
On the one hand, even if it is forcibly controlled, the control range is extremely small, at most it is to move the little finger or sneeze or something.
On the other hand, once it is forcibly manipulated, the Jindan monks who were previously unaware will inevitably know, thus raising suspicions. It is likely that he found Ning Zhuo, and then punched the big-headed boy to death in a fit of rage.
"The existence of the primordial infant level, I cannot bless the suspension silk."
Ning Zhuo secretly tried this after seeing Grandma Yuan.
It's useless, it can't fall at all.
When the hanging silk descended into the sky above his head, there was an invisible force, like a gust of wind, making it impossible for the hanging silk to succeed.
"For the existence of the foundation level, my magical powers have always been unfavorable, but today I actually failed on Linghu Jiu!"
Han Zhou, Hua Guzi, Lin Shanshan and others in the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines were all planted by Ning Zhuo.
Lai Wuying, Zheng Xingchen and others have never been treated like this. This is because Ning Zhuo maintains a good habit of not openly displaying his magical powers in public.
Ning Zhuo felt that once Linghu Jiu was planted with a suspense of human life, although it could be successful and controlled, it would definitely be detected by the other party.
"Linghu wine has a deep heritage, and to some extent, it can resist my magical powers!"
"It seems that he, like me, knows the way of hiding clumsiness. I just don't know who among us hides more and deeper."
Ning Zhuo's heart was shaken, and his face was not visible.
Since Linghu wine likes fine wine, he pours it frequently.
"Please."
"Please!"
"Please again!"
Linghu drank ten bowls of wine in a row, but he was still unsatisfied.
His face was flushed, his eyebrows were dancing, his breathing was full of alcohol, and his gestures became louder.
"Good wine, good wine."
The wine helps the poetry, and he said:
"Ice jade is cool in the throat, and you can see the favor in your drunkenness."
"The sweet aftertaste lingers on the tongue for a long time, and the sea of Kanda qi soars together!"
Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with brilliance, praising Linghu Jiu for his literary style, and was about to respond to a poem, but Linghu Jiu suddenly spoke.
I only heard him say: "Brother Ning Zhuo, what do you mean to my junior sister Shanshan?"
Ning Zhuo sighed softly, quite feeling Linghu Jiu's words, like a sudden sword, stabbing straight at him, catching him off guard.
He gently placed the cup in his hand on the stone table, with a solemn and serious expression: "Miss Lin and I hit it off at first sight."
"This time I came to the precious land to seek advice and alliance."
"Miss Lin is simple and hospitable, and she has helped me many times, but she has been grounded."
"Friends are very kind, I will engrave them in my heart, and there will be generous rewards in the future!"
Linghu stared at Ning Zhuo drunkenly, the smell of alcohol filling the sky.
But at this moment, Ning Zhuo felt as if he had been seen through by Linghu Jiu, without any concealment.
Linghu Jiu pointed at Ning Zhuo: "Good boy, it's actually the truth!"
"Hehehe."
"Hahaha!"
He raised his head and laughed, the corners of his eyes were moist, and he wiped away tears in front of Ning Zhuo's face.
Linghu Jiu's emotions were complicated and indescribable.
On the one hand, it is like a relief. The junior sister in his heart was not favored by outsiders.
On the other hand, there are also grievances and suffocation. The junior sister in his heart, who has paid so hard, has not yet been favored by outsiders!
Seeing Ning Zhuo stunned and speechless, with a puzzled face, Linghu Jiu sighed: "I'm sorry, Young Master Ning Zhuo. There is a talent below, called Drunken Moon Immortal Search."
"As long as I drink fine wine and am in a drunken state, I can be spiritual, have continuous inspiration, gain insight into the world, and whip into it."
"I just asked a question, and when I used my talent, I knew that you were telling the truth."
"To tell you the truth, not only did Lauder and others misunderstand you, but even I misunderstood you!"
Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Drunken moon looking for immortals?"
"No matter what, it is a great blessing for me to be able to resolve this misunderstanding."
"Brother Linghu doesn't need to apologize, I just want to thank you."
As he said, he raised his glass.
Linghu Jiu also picked up the wine bowl, and the two collided with the cup and drank it all in one go.
Linghu Jiu looked Ning Zhuo up and down, and suddenly sighed: "I know why the little junior sister favors you."
He pointed to Ning Zhuo: "Junior sister obeys my master the most, that is, her father, the master of my sect."
"You are like this, upright, very much like my master."
Ning Zhuo quickly became humble, saying that he had no virtue or ability, and could be compared with Lin Bufan's Yuan Ying overhaul.
Linghu Jiu suddenly stood up: "Wait a minute, Bingyu wine is not busy drinking for the time being. I will treat you to a drink too."
He took a few big steps and walked to the stone bed.
He touched it on the edge of the bed and took out a jar of wine.
Linghu Jiu sat back down, placed the wine on the stone table, and showed off proudly: "I have been imprisoned many times, so I have someone set up a secret storage magic circle here to collect some good wine."
"Whenever I am lonely and thirsty, I will take out a bottle to quench my cravings."
"This wine is called Meditation Brew, which is quite useful to you, Young Master Ning Zhuo."
Linghu Jiu picked up the wine jar and poured it for Ning Zhuo.
He introduced: "The main ingredients of this wine are the water of the yellow spring, the night grass, and the auxiliary ingredients are moon dew, dark jade, and nine-tailed fox tears."
"After drinking, your thoughts can spread, go to the underworld, realize the wisdom of your predecessors, and get guidance from the underworld."
Linghu Jiu sighed and continued: "I have the talent to get drunk on the moon to seek immortality, so Master specially invited a spiritual chef to brew this wine for me. My practice has benefited greatly from this wine."
"Please!"
Ning Zhuo had been aroused with a lot of curiosity, so he solemnly picked up the wine glass and looked at it carefully.
I saw that the color of the meditation was dark blue, and there was a little shimmer.
Approaching the tip of his nose and smelling it carefully, the aroma of wine was light, almost nothing, but it immediately made Ning Zhuo's mood clear and peaceful.
"Boss, I'm going to drink." Ning Zhuo transmits the sound.
In the mechanical dragon, Sun Lingtong swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Stinky boy, it's delicious and delicious outside, and I have to take care of you. Remember to leave me some."
Ning Zhuo meditated and took a sip.
The wine slides over the tip of the tongue, sweet with a hint of bitterness, like the ups and downs of life.
After the wine enters the abdomen, a warm feeling emanates from the inside out, and the mysterious power from the spirit wine flows through the body, bringing an unprecedented tranquility and tranquility.
In a trance, Ning Zhuo "saw" a person.
"I am the Lord of the Five Elements! The mysteries of the five elements are all in my hands. Five spirits and five gods, listen to my orders, and do not dare to disobey."
"Future generations, do you want my Five Internal Organs Temple Spiritual Skill?"
"Hahaha, listen up!"
"The five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; The five organs are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The five elements belong to the five organs, each performing its own duties, mutually restrained, and the cycle is endless......"
Ning Zhuo concentrated and listened carefully.
As a result, the words spoken by the Five Elements God Lord became lighter and weaker, and eventually even the figure disappeared.
"What's going on?" Ning Zhuo opened his eyes suddenly.
Sobered.
Ning Zhuo was sad as if he had lost it.
Linghu Jiu laughed: "It seems that Young Master Ning Zhuo has realized the benefits of this wine."
"Do you still want to drink?"
Ning Zhuo was unceremonious, and said eagerly: "Please pour the wine."
After drinking another cup, he saw the Five Elements God Lord with a simple face and divine power.
The god continued to repeat his five internal organs temple spiritual skills.
This time, after a short conversation, it disappeared again.
Ning Zhuo opened his eyes: "I still want it, I want it."
Linghu Jiu laughed.
Ning Zhuo directly took his glass cup and looked at Linghu Jiu: "Brother, do you have a bowl?"
